Magic of the Planets: The Art of Making Talismans - Paperback

by Wade Coleman (Author)

Unlock the medieval secrets to creating your own magical talismans.

Magic of the Planets encompasses all the practical information necessary to construct your own magical talismans and amulets. Using the traditional Medieval and Renaissance techniques, you will learn how to define, create, and consecrate your talismans so that they remain a source of essential power and protection for you.

It was during the Renaissance that Western astrology and magic were imbued with learnings from Jewish Qabalah and the Hermetic tradition. Great scholars such as the German polymath and occult writer, Cornelius Agrippa, developed a deeper Western understanding of magical thought. This book is rooted in the teachings of Agrippa and 19th-century natural occult philosopher, Francis Barrett, whose grimoire The Magus builds on Agrippa's original works. Exploring new talisman design methods faithful to both Agrippa and Barrett's teachings, the book covers everything from the basics of Jewish Qabalah, and Hebrew Gematria, cross-referenced with English, Latin, and Greek forms, to the appropriate astrological considerations necessary in the construction of talismans.

The book includes:

• A brief examination of Gematria
• Exploration of Ancient Occult Philosophy
• The Four Worlds and Elements
• Choosing Planetary Angels and Spirits
• Magical Squares
• Construction of Planetary Seals
• Talisman Design Principles
• Talisman Consecration

Written in an easy-to-follow manner, this book is essential to all engaged in magical studies, and those interested in creating their own magical talismans to effect real change in their lives.
